Christmas group photo after playing our show. My cheeks are pretty red from all the Christmas wine...


Tomo played 'Linda Linda Linda' during his set (Mari and I were his uninvited back up singers) and we closed the night with all of us singing "After Hours". Oh so sweet...

Some people from Australia came to our Christmas show and I had a hard time making small talk in English.

Kazutaka And Tennessee Rose's Lazy October And November

Kaz taking his very first bubble bath. He seemed quite perturbed by it...


He announced after the bath that he would like to take another one sometime. Success!


Arm drawing during our new band QUILTS first (and only successful) band practice. It was an epic night with four beautiful songs written on the spot.

Korea

Dringe Augh played with us in Matsumoto and invited us to Korea to play a show! The whole trip was only two days (one whole day and two half days) but it was really great to explore Korea and the show was one of the best this tour.



Drunk and happy after our show.


This is the most popular playground in the city according to Dringe. You'd think they'd clean it up a bit for the kids...


I don't usually like beer, but Korean beer was really good and refreshing tasting. And cheap!

These things actually work and you can win toys and stuff out of them. They were always tucked in the weirdest alleys and usually by a pile of trash bags...


The owner of the venue letting us in. I liked the colors...


Kaz checking himself out in a tiny spoon.


Kaz and I passed this teddy bear three times. The first time he was laying down in the back of the trash pile looking drunk, the second time he was propped up a bit as though he was recovering, and by the time the our show had ended someone had brought him out of the alley and had sat him nicely in front of the trash.


Chicken.
